London takeaway fined for serving burger after 10 pm

An east London takeaway was given the fixed penalty notice after a customer placed an order as the restaurant was closing on Thursday. The Met Police said they had fined the venue for community safety reasons having previously spoken to staff "on a number of occasions". But London takeaway spokesman said they felt police should have been "more lenient". The 10pm curfew for pubs, bars and restaurants in England was introduced by the government following a recent increase in cases of coronavirus.
